STUART - Michele Reilly, general manager of Willoughby Golf Club in Stuart, is proud to recognize the volunteer efforts of residents and members of the private Club as a part of National Volunteer Week 2011, which was proclaimed by the President and took place from April 10-16.

Willoughby Golf Club is currently represented by more than 40 volunteers with a variety of organizations including the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County, Humane Society of the Treasure Coast, Habitat for Humanity, Samaritan House for Boys, United Way, Hope Rural School, Salvation Army, Maritime & Classic Boat Museum, St. Vincent de Paul, the Library Foundation of Martin County and much more.

"Willoughby Golf Club and the management team are proud of our many residents and members who dedicate their time to deserving non-profit organizations servicing Martin County and the Treasure Coast," said Michele Reilly, General Manager of Willoughby Golf Club.

National Volunteer Week was established for the purpose of celebrating the profound impact of volunteers and to encourage all Americans to discover their own power to make a difference. President Obama has urged all Americans to help renew progress and prosperity and build a brighter future for the Nation by visiting www.Serve.gov to find a local project.

"I've been volunteering with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County for about 8 years now," said Dick Case, Willoughby Golf Club Resident and Member. "Leigh Ford introduced me to the organization, and I've thoroughly enjoyed working with the kids and watching the impact that we as volunteers can have on their lives." Dick Case, alongside fellow Willoughby volunteers Lynn and Steve Frank, have been heavily involved with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County in addition to others and instrumental in raising funds to construct a tennis court and expand the program for the organization.
